Where the money goes.
You should be able to check this for yourself. Here is who holds the money, what it pays for first, how the rest reaches the charities, and the report that proves it.
- Expenses are reported before any money is distributed.
- The balance is split equally among the charities.
- The report is published on this page.
Four steps, in order.
